Half Sour

"This low-key (but fun) bar is ideal for a post-work drink or dinner, and has events like trivia, bingo, and comedy nights. Weekend brunch can get crowded, especially during the summer when the outdoor patio is a big draw. But, Half Sour is open during the day on weekdays, so if you want to do some work while eating a pretty good bagel or a cheeseburger that tastes like a Big Mac in the best way possible, you can." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor

"A neighborhood restaurant and bar with noteworthy Jewish deli influences, Half Sour adds a festive kick to its latkes by including hot honey among its topping options alongside more conventional offerings like scallions, sour cream, and applesauce. Or, go all and get them with salmon dip for a slight up-charge." - Eater Staff

"It’s a little north of the stadium, but Half Sour is a solid deli with some great breakfast specials and creative dishes like pastrami poutine." - Ashok Selvam

"Half Sour is a unique restaurant with deli food not too far from Grant Park. It offers huge sandwiches, fresh bagels, fresh soups, and cold beer at a full bar. Those hungry for breakfast will also find this comfy space with the walk." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman

"You won’t find a rambunctious crowd during the week at Half Sour, but you might see a toddler running around to each table trying to make friends. This low-key-but-still-fun spot is ideal for a post-work drink or dinner, with events like trivia, bingo, and comedy nights Tuesday through Thursday. The menu has classic deli dishes like matzo ball soup and pastrami sandwiches, but also includes seafood and vegetarian entrees. Half Sour is open during the day, so if you want to do some work while eating a pretty good bagel or a cheeseburger that tastes like a Big Mac in the best way possible, you can." - Veda Kilaru
